i keep going back to this marvelous album....its right up there with my other favourites like Waterboys "This is the Sea",Prince "Sign of the Times",Prefab Sprout "From Langley Park to Memphis"(The first present that Ursh bought me on cd 20+years ago)....these discs sound as good today as they did all those years ago!

Raintown is a stupendously good album.

The second CD I played on the NAD 5220 / 310 combo I just got from Tom was Raintown. :)

This came out in 1987, round about the time I got drafted to do my 2 years in the army. I had it and Talk Talk's "Colour Of Spring" on a TDK D90 cassette that I brought back with me after my first pass in October of that year.

Brings back memories better than a photograph, man...

^^^ Lucky bugger.  :)

The lead singer has a great voice, it's a pity they ran out of steam.

I saw them live in Dubai in 2002 or so... jeez, what an awesome concert. Apparently they go on a tour every few years. Their recordings are pretty 'radio friendly' - but live they really rock!
